Kathrine Wilson
Kathrine lives in the Southeast of England. She has qualified with
Kelly Marks and holds the Monty Roberts Preliminary Certificate in Horsemanship.
Therefore she is able to help you with many problems or just day-to-day
training with your horse, using non-violent methods, which train you
and your horse to have a better life together. Issues such as loading,
(or not!!), leading, biting etc. Maybe you would like a better understanding
of how your horse thinks and feels, how to set clear boundaries and improve
the bond between you. Individual training or group sessions are available
for booking.
Kathrine also works as an Equine Body Worker.
This is a branch of equine massage, which has been around for centuries.
She qualified with “Equinology
TM” in 2000. Equine massage helps to alleviate many issues associated
with our horses of today. Problems such as tight muscles, shortened stride,
loss of stride quality, tension, hanging a leg, bad temper can all greatly
effect your horse’s quality of life and your riding time. Massage
should be used alongside a proper health, feeding, farriery and veterinary
routine to maximise your horse’s potential.
Kathrine works throughout the southeast as well
as travelling regularly to Italy to collaborate with the horse welfare
business, “The World
of the Horse.”
What Kathrine is saying about her work.. “The
main enjoyment I get, is seeing the difference a massage can make to
a horses life. It really can turn their lives around. When a horse
has been suffering from tight, sore muscles for some time, his work
has usually slowly degenerated and his character can change from been
the laid back horse he was into a bad tempered grouch that no one enjoys
spending time with! As I am working on the horse, the owner can normally
see the effect it is having as their horse visibly relaxes. He often
begins to yawn, lower his head, and even fall asleep!”
“When a person calls me out because they are having problems
with their horse, they are often in a very distressed way. Often the
relationship between them and their horse is at an all time low. Both
of them feel in a lose – lose situation. My job is to turn this
around so they feel in a win – win situation and feel more confident
in each other and in where they are going.”
Kathrine also offers mobile massage workshops. These are designed for
groups of 4-6 people. They can be one or two day in duration. Work sheets
are sent ahead of the day to allow people to familiarize themselves with
the muscle and bone names and functions. On the day we cover topics such
as, benefits and contraindications of massage. Massage techniques, (these
are demonstrated and taught to you), muscle names, locations and functions,
safety issues and much more.
The cost of these courses is £60 per person per day + travel
expenses. This includes worksheets, folders and laminated handouts. Other
courses on Horse Psychology are available on request and can be tailored
to suit individual needs. Such “Bonding and Boundaries”, “Leading
and Loading” or “Getting rid of Demons!”
